Book Overview

A novel about friendship and finding your place from National Book Award finalist Julie Anne Peters.

When the relay race teams are chosen in gym class, it's clear that one team doesn't have a chance of winning: Jenny is more interested in eating candy than running around a track; Prairie has a bad leg; Lydia is a complete klutz; and Max is, well, Max. But together, they proudly dub themselves the "Snob Squad" and vow revenge on their...

Revenge of the Snob Squad

I read Revenge of The Snob Squad. I thought it was a good book. I liked this book because it had some adventure and it also had some sad parts. I think other kids between the age's ten-twelve would like to read this book. I recommend this book to other people.

Seriousness and sarcasm that ring true

Peters continues the story in this sequel to "Revenge of the Snob Squad." In this book, the girls deal with budding romance as Jenny harbors a secret crush for Kevin Rooney, schoolyard god and member in good standing of the "in" crowd. Meanwhile Prairie enlists the help of the group to ignite a romance with computer nerd Hugh Torkerson (aka "Tork the Dork.")This book and its predecessor give readers a welcome respite from books about "goody-two-shoes" groups of girls like the Sweet Valley High or Babysitters' Club series. They also deal with heavy subjects--social isolation, eating disorders and dysfunctional families--with a combination of seriousness and sarcasm that ring more true than the way these subjects are handled in "fluffier" books.

A dark comedy for middle schoolers

"Revenge of the Snob Squad" is a dark, middle school comedy about a group of self-proclaimed misfits. They are thrown together on a gym class track team and learn that revenge can indeed be sweet.Peters' narrator, the compulsive eater Jenny, is called "Lardo Legs" by the popular "in" crowd. Instead of swallowing her bitterness, she ingests a constant stream of candy bars. She also points her sarcastic barbs at those around her--parents, classmates and even herself. She joins ranks with Prairie Cactus, who has a strange name and a pronounced limp, hulking Max McFarland, the biggest girl in the sixth grade, and Lydia Beals, a whining, klutzy girl the other kids call Bealsqueal.Together the Snob Squad discovers that there is more than safety in numbers; there is also pride and friendship.

Halerious. Exellent. I loved it!

Jenny is on a team with thes other girls. they are not poplar. they call themslvs the Snob Squad. then they take reveng out on Ashly Krups. It is soooo funny. we met Julie Ann Peters at our school. she is soooo funny too,and she is nice and preety.
